SOC 1 Type I Report

Service Organization Controls (SOC) exist to validate a company’s controls and ensure industry standards are followed. Our SOC 1 report was prepared in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (a.k.a SSAE 16) and documents operational policies and procedures for Chargify’s system of internal controls.

Two-Factor Authentication

As a security best practice, we require secure passwords for all Chargify users. As an additional layer of protection, we provide the ability to enable two-factor authentication. When enabled, internal team members must enter an authentication token from their mobile device prior to gaining access to the Chargify interface.

Fine-Grained User Access Controls

Your teams play important roles in running your subscription business, but not every team member needs full access to Chargify’s interface. Customer support needs to access and manage subscription information, finance needs to view and export financial metrics, etc. Our access controls allow you define what users can see and do within your Chargify account.

Reliability You Can Count On

Data Redundancy

Our software runs in three datacenters across the US. On a daily basis, we export the database and store it in an offsite facility for extra redundancy.

24/7 Monitoring

Extensive performance and availability monitoring allows us to keep a close eye on system health and mitigate unforeseen issues early on.

99.99% Uptime

Uptime is as mission critical to us as it is to your business. Our trailing three-year uptime record is 99.99%, and we’re fanatical about maintaining that record.View our uptime report.

Hacker Tested

We regularly submit ourselves to hacking by the best "good-guy" hackers in the business. This practice ensures we remain the most reliable, secure system in the industry.
